pci_reset_function() being called from "bind" or "unbind"

I am looking at implementing the FLR functionality in the xen-pciback driver and found a mutex issue I am not entirely sure how to resolve.

In essence I am trying to call pci_reset_function() when a PCI device is "attached" (using "bind") to the xen-pciback driver.

This means that when a user does:

echo "0000:01.07.0" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pciback/bind

we end up calling:
driver_bind:

    device_lock(dev);
    pcistub_probe:
       pcistub_seize:
         pcistub_init_device:
           .. pci_enable_device()
           --> want also to do pci_reset_function(), which calls
                 pci_dev_reset(dev, 0):
			if (!0) {
				device_lock(dev) <==== DEADLOCK

           .. pci_disable_device()

So looking at the code I saw __pci_reset_function which I thought would do the same as pci_reset_function but without locking. However, it is actually the opposite - it is with the locking.

My thought is that one way to resolve this is by wrapping pci_probe_reset_function with a EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL and use that instead. Or perhaps have a new function called "pci_reset_function_locked" ?

Thoughts?

Here is what I am doing right now, which is hack-ish - I end up unlocking the device_unlock(dev) to make it possible from user-space to work:

So thinking of the 'psi_reset_function_locked" variant but not sure if you are OK with it?

xen/pciback: Support FLR/PM D3 reset of PCI devices.

Using the generic pci_reset_function call.
And also save the PM states of the PCI device and restore them.
